To be called the nation's best athlete from the Class of 2016 is a mouthful.
Elbert County (Elberton, Ga.) 5-foot-10, 170-pound senior
Mecole Hardman has earned such a distinction by 247Sports.
Take a look at his top 5 plays and it's easy to understand why.
Hardman played quarterback for Elbert County but it's obvious that he can do many things on the football field with 4.42 speed in the 40-yard dash. He constantly runs away from very fast defensive backs.
Considered the 13th-best recruit overall by
247Sports, Hardman is presumably going to Georgia, according to the recruiting site's Crystal Ball predictions. Others in the mix are Alabama, Tennessee and Florida State.
